Heart Health

February is heart health month. In that vein, this is the art heart I created for a member of the Circle of Red Society for the Go Red for Women portion of the American Heart Association.

I started working on this last summer, first with a practice sketch, and then on the giant heart itself. The front of the heart is very three dimensional, sort of like a wedding cake, which makes drawing on it rather difficult.

The back is a flat surface; much easier for drawing and painting. It’s been a long process, but today it is finally going to its rightful owner. I couldn’t be more delighted.
